INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Debate Commission, the first independent debate commission of its kind in the United States, is now accepting questions from Hoosier voters who want to pose questions to Indiana’s three gubernatorial candidates on the Nov. 5 ballot.
The governor’s race is a three-way contest this year between Republican Mike Braun, Democrat Jennifer McCormick, and Libertarian Donald G. Rainwater II, and all three have agreed to participate in the debate.
In keeping with its mission of “Putting Voters First,” the commission invites Hoosier voters to submit questions via its website www.indianadebatecommission.
Questions will be vetted by commission members and accepted for full consideration through October 11. Hoosiers whose questions are selected may be offered the opportunity to ask their questions on pre-taped video during the hour-long debate.
Consistent with past practice, candidates do not receive the questions in advance.
Candidates have agreed to debate on Thursday, October 24, and it will be broadcast at 7 p.m. from WFYI-TV in Indianapolis and live-streamed on the commission’s website and YouTube channel.
Since its founding in 2007, the non-profit Indiana Debate Commission has produced 24 statewide debates in U.S. Senate and gubernatorial elections.
